here is a small update.finally finished with the smoothing of the fenders and i made a set of aluminum fender guards and i am trying on the louvered grill i got from russ .keep in mind i still have to paint the hood and i will add the peterbilt emblems and i will make an aluminum bug deflector.i am hoping the white paint i got will match the rest of the truck judging from the spray spot i tested on styrene it looks about right .if not i will just tell everyone i hit a deer and had to replace the hood

what do you think so far does it look like a peterbilt or still a kinghauler?.the next updated pics it will be finished ..thanks for looking friends

The grill,fender guards, tanks,steps and head lights make it look like a Pete. Not to mention all those chicken lights It will have

Dwayne,
Truck looks AWSOME the changes to the hood are dead on great job. I would change out the fuel tanks make them look like one long tank. I hope to see this truck at a show beautiful job.

here is another update for this build ...almost finished .i noticed there were no air horns on the roof( how long have i had this truck now)so i got some and using 1:25 scale aluminum moon eyes hubcaps for cars i attached them to resemble air horn covers,its a trick i used for all of my trucks,i added the chrome flame decal and the oval peterbilt emblem.i also made the aluminum bug deflector as i said previous .i just have to add and wire the headlights and signals.oh btw thanks rod(stepside) for texting me the paint code he used to paint this truck..here are some pics

Looking great Dwayne, very nice job on the little details like the air horn covers and bug shield. Nice job on the fender guards also, I say put some Pete logos on the fender guards, just my opinion tho.
